Thanks for stopping by. PasswordMaker looks interesting but I’d prefer to store my passwords in a separate sandbox to my browser if at all possible (for no sound reason other than keeping them separate seems like a good idea, it may well be only giving my an illusion of increased security).

KeepPass also includes a password generator – I’m not sure how strong the resulting passwords are though – more at http://keepass.info/help/base/pwgenerator.html

I currently use the firefox plugin from http://passwordmaker.org/ to create a hash to use as a unique password for each site. The generated passwords are not susceptible to dictionary attacks. I only have to remember one password to recreate all the others on any machine I use. Worth a look.
